Break

We take a break from work

From life; and fights

People we avoid

People we adore

One and the same

When the head has already left.

Amongst strangers

Widened horizons 

On a rooftop somewhere

Playing djembe in the middle of nowhere

Far from everything

Suddenly it hits

Less or more,

Who am I 

Without my focal points? 

I will be richer

In memories

Come back tanned,

Stuffed and happy

The routine continued just fine

Without me.

Those I avoid

Those I adore

Sitting at work,

My life; and fights

One and the same

Once the heart is back in the apartment.

When we look forward to

Do we leave it all

Wherever we go?

Looking back

Did I not take it all

Wherever I strolled?

Untrue to my word

I am true to my word

Except when it comes to us

I mean when I say
Yes and no mean the same.

I need you to leave 

Go ape once I put it to ink

Thinking I will never kiss those lips

See that smile of his.

I am weak

Because you make me strong

I push you away

Because all this is wrong.

It is for the best

I feel worse once said

Back and forth

My words lose their worth

I promise I do not love you

I don't, I don't. 

Life continues as before

Life continues as before

I will press snooze three times

Before getting ready for work;

My waiter will ask me

How I take my usual coffee

And I will check dreams 

Off my list

As long as I breathe.

Life continues as before

Except in those quiet moments

I recall our moments

Written in stone.

Don't we all start off as strangers?

Before soon enough,

One takes a piece of your heart

You never want back.

We cross paths just to part

Everyone leaves 

And we are left with memories;

The waves will wash away our footsteps

But not the fact that we made them.

Life continues as before

The world will not stop

But I will –

Then for a second,

You and I share a moment.
